tum..

tumko deekh kar saas chalti hai
tumko chukar zindagi lagti hai
tumko sunkar khushi hoti hai
tumko pakar jannat milti hai
lekin woh jannat kis kaaam,jab tum saath na ho

Attempt at shairi

I was sitting in the office waiting for my computer to be made available to me to start work. So i closed my eyes and got inspired (that is what I would like to think at least). And the following shayries are the results of that inspiration.

Woh aaya ghoode pe sawar,
pyar ka toufa leke
Woh aaya ghoode pe sawar,
pyar ka toufa leke
Dil to churaya he,
aapna toufa bhi vapass legaye
(he came riding a horse, with the gift of love,
he came riding a horse, with the gift of love
however although he stole my heart,
he took back his gift of love)

Hamara dil toodke aapko kya mila,
Dil to aapka he tha,
Aur aapne he tood diya
(what did you get from breaking my heart,
my heart was already yours,
and you only broke it)

Dushmano se to zakham milte he the
Dushmano se to zakham milte he the,
Magar apno ne bhi jab zakham diye,
Dil toota to toota,
Aaso bhi sookh gaye
(i used to get hurt by the enemies,
i used to get hurt by the enemies,
but when my own hurt me,
the heart did indeed break,
but the tears dried up as well)

Aapse kya shikayat kare,
shikayat to apno se karte hai,
Aapse kya shikayat kare
shikayat to apno se karte hai,
Magar jab apno ne he dhoka diya,
Hum shikayat kise kare
(how can i complain to you,
i only complain to ones close to me
how can i complain to you,
i only complain to ones close to me
but when the ones close betray,
whom do i complain to?)

Ok so they weren't all sad. The next one is kinda optimistic.

Pyar ki talaash mein hum kabhi yahan kabhi wahan gaye,
Magar jisko dhoondte hai woh na yahan na wahan hai.
Pyar ki talaash mein hum kabhi yahan kabhi wahan gaye,
Magar jisko dhoonte hai woh na yahan na wahan hai.
Jis din woh mil jaye,
hum yahan wahan ka rastha he bhool jaye
(i went here and there in search of love,
but the one who i was looking for did not come here or there
i went here and there in search of love,
but the one who i was looking for did not come here or there
the day i find him,
i will forget the route to here and there)

hmm so yea that was my attempt at shayri..

100% original stuff...

So I have had the privilege of hearing some beautiful and original shayri. I want to share it with you. Please tell me how you find it..

Har inshaan shayar nahi hota, magar har shayar insaan hota hai
Har insaan shayar nahi hota, par har shayar insaan hota hai
Magar shayar ya insaan, har kisi ke dil mein kahin na kahin gum chupa hota hai

(every person is not a poet, but every poet is a person
every person is not a poet, but every poet is a person
however be it a person or poet, there is pain hidden somewhere in everyone's heart)

Zakhm kuch aise hain, phoolon par soya na gaya,
Jism jal ke khaak ho gaya, par aankho se roya na gaya

(the injury was such that i could not sleep on flowers,
the body burned and became ash, but the eyes never cried)

Aapse dosti humein itni pyaari hai,
ki humne apni dosti ko pyaar ka naan diya
Youn to hum dosti har ek se kar letein hain,
Magar sirf aapne humein apna humraaz banane diya

(your friendship is so dear to me,
that i think of your friendship as love,
although i am friends with everyone,
only youhave made me your confidant)

The next 2 are my fav..

Judai ka pata hoto agar pyar se phele,
To maut ki dua maangte hum deedar se phele

(if i had known of separation before love,
i would have prayed for death before love)

Tasveer ki kya tareef karein, tasveer to tasveer hoti hai
Tasveer ki kya tareef karein, tasveer to tasveer hoti hai
Tareef to uski karein jo dil ke aine mein chupi hoti hai

(why praise a photo, a photo is just a photo
why praise a photo, a photo is just a photo,
i will praise her who is hidden in the mirror of my heart)

ok so yup i tried my best to translate them.. please let me know if you have better translations!!

Shairi from Fanaa

Last Tuesday I watched Fanaa and more than the movie, I fell in love with the shairi in it. Each and every shairi was so perfect and beautiful. The following are the shairis from Fanaa together with my attempt to translate them.

Tumhari khoobsurti ne khuda se ek khatha karadi
Kahin khud se nazar na lagjaaye, yoon tumhe nazar na di

Bethi hai hoton ko seeker, pachtaayengi aap
Ishq jag uththa hai, aisi hi khamoshi ke baad

Insaan ki khwahish ki koi inteha nahin
Do garz zameen chahiye, do garz kafan ki baat hai

Dard se aankhen char kar lenge, hum bhi imtihaan denge
Teri dosti ki khatir e dost, hum dushmanon se bhi pyar kar lenge

Aisa lagaa khuda ne rakh diya hamare dil pe haath
Liya naam hamara unhone, kuch aisi ada ke saath

Paani se pyaas na bhuji to mehkhane ki taraf chal nikla
Socha shikayat karun teir khuda se, par khuda bhi tera aashiq nikla

Aag suraj mein hoti hai, chalna zameen ko padhta hai
Mohabbat nigahen karti hain, tadapna dil ko padhta hai

Jaan use do, jo apna dil tumhe de
Lekin apna guroor sirf uspe qurbaan karo, jo tumpe fanaa ho jaaye

Bhul karke humse koi bhul hooyi ho
To bhul samajhkar bhula dena
Lekin bhulana sirf bhul ko
Galti se bhi hamein na bhula dena

E Khuda Aaj Ye Faisla Karde,Use Mera ya Mujhe Uska Karde.
Bahut Dukh Sahe He Maine,Koi Khusi Ab Toh Muqadar Karde.
Bahot Muskil Lagta Hai Usse Duur Rehna,Judai Ke Safar Ko Kum Karde.
Jitna Duur Chale Gaye Woh Mujhse, Use Utna Kareeb Karde.
Nahi Likha Agar Nasib Me Uska Naam,To Khatam Kar Ye Zindagi aur Mujhe FANAA Karde
(ok this one is kinda tough. i'll need more time)

The following is my favourite- short and sweet

Tere Dile mein meri saanson ko panah mil jaaye
Tere Ishq mein meri Jaan Fanaa Ho jaayeâ.
(may my breath find refuge in your heart,
may my life get destroyed in your love)

Ankhen to pyar me dilki zuban hoti hai,
sachi chahat to sada bezuban hoti hai,
pyar mai dard bhi mile to kya gabrana,
suna hai dard se chahat aur jawan hoti hai....
(in love the eyes are the language of the heart,
true love is always mute,
if you get oain in love why worry,
i have heard with pain the love becomes even stronger)

Phool hun Gulaab kaâ, Chameli ka mat samjhnaâ
Aashiq hun aapkaâ
Apni Saheli ka mat samjhnaâ
(i am a rose, not a jasmine
i am your lover,
don't think i am your friend's)

Dur Humse Jaa Paoge Kaise,
Humko Bhool Paoge Kaise.
Hum Who Khushbu Jo Saanson Mein Utar Jaye,
Khud Apni Saanxon Ko Rok Paoge Kaise..
(how will you go away from me, how will you forget me
i am the scent that is in your breath,
how will you stop your own breath?)

Bekhudi Ki Zindagi Hum Jiya Nahi Karte,
Yun kisika ka Jaam Hum Piya Nahi Karte.
Unse Kehdo Mohabbat Ka Izhaar Aakar Khud Karein,
Yun Kisika Peecha Hum Nahin Karteâ


Rone de tu aaj hamako tu aankhe sujane de
Baho me lele aur khud ko bheeg jane de
hai jo seene me quaid dariya wo chut jayega
hai itana dard ki tera daman bheeg jayega..
(let me cry today till my eyes are swollen
take me in your arms and let yourself get drenched,
the river caught in my heart will get released,
there is so much pain that your bossom will be drenched)

adhoori saans thi dhadkan adhoori thi adhooren thai ham
magar ab chaand poora hain falak pe aur ab pooren hain ham
(my breath was incomplete, my heartbeats were incomplete and i was incomplete,
but today the moon is complete in the shy and now i am complete)
